While I’m figuring out adjustments for myself, I’ll take a look at your CSS file as well and report back.

Regards,
Adrien

If you want to customize, you’re on your own, though there may be other users who want to do so and they may lend some help. (like me, where I can) Although I don’t use Windows now, I do recall some apps that people loved to skin and the apps supported this. But I’d bet dimes to dollars they occasionally had to break their skin APIs from time to time as well.

This does mean that prior customizations may break, but that is because they were not ’standard.’
